First of all, you all should feel extremely lucky to live in America. We are the greatest country in the world, and the entire world envies us.
Secondly, you should be greatful that you are able to afford a new Camaro, and I'm sure noone here is homeless, or has ever really missed a meal either!! Ask someone in Somalia or Darfur how bad they feel for you!!
Third. Okay, so how much taxes do you really pay?? $10,000?? $20,000?? $30,000???Seriously think about all the things you get for that money..Just think about it!!
Ask Ahmed in Iraq if he had the chance to come to America and pay twice that much to live here, would he..Damn straight he would!!
I know the system isn't perfect, and it does suck paying taxes, but when you look at the alternatives, like not living in the USA, paying taxes doesn't seem so bad does it??
America: love it, or get the F out!!
END RANT!!

I am absolutely happy that I live in America, and being an American....have absolutely every right to voice my dissatisfaction with ridiculous taxes here in Massachusetts..........I bust my ass and go to work. I support a family of 4 on my measly earnings....I am only a medical secretary. I am extremely gratefull that I can afford a 2010 Camaro and maintain things financially for my family....Yet every which way I turn, I'm hit with a tax for this and a tax for that. While, and being in healthcare....have seen a great share of this.....too many sit on their asses either collecting welfare....(or Transitional Assistance as it is called now), SSI, MassHealth, and any way they can manipulate the system so they don't have to work...Hell they don't even want to do 20 hours of community service to keep their TA benefits. While they are sitting at home in their apts. and houses that the state's Section 8 program is paying up to 100% of their rent, and on top of that sending them hundreds in cash and foodstamps. Back to the SSI,,,....The great federal gov't can deem a person either physically or mentally incapable of taking care of themselves. So they send them a check every month, even if they never paid one red cent into social security. Give them affordable housing, MassHealth (free Insurance here) cash, food stamps...some can even get that gas bill they haven't paid in 6 months paid by some gov't assistance program...yet they continue to have kid after kid only to get another check for a dependent from good old Uncle Sam.....Unable to take care of themselves, but not the kids? And lets not even get into the amount of tax money this state dumps into healthcare for non-citizens. Do you know how many women come over here (especially to MA, because our benefits are so damn good) pregnant...far enough along that a doctor here will say its unsafe for the pregnancy to fly back to their native country.......deliver and never leave or become citizens....and are entitled to all the benefits that I detailed above, all explained to them in their native language Not english, by someone employed via our taxdollars to translate. Yep thats why since I bought my Camaro in June 2009, i've paid almost $3k in taxes......it definitely isn't because I'm driving on such well paved roads and highways here in MA? How's that for STFU?
